How Niecie fell into the blues is quite a story. During a gig with a rock band while on tour

in Lincoln, Nebraska, Niecie stepped outside on set break.

As fortune would have it, she didn’t know that her set had been overheard by none other than

Bluesman extraordinaire Magic Slim, who also happened to be on break from his gig at the Zoo Bar.  Slim approached Niecie and said, “Girl, you need to sing the blues,” and invited her to join him on stage at the Zoo Bar.

The rest, as they say, is history.

​

Growing up in Detroit, whether it was rock, Motown, blues, or jazz,

if it had something Niecie could use, she latched onto it.

​

Moving on from Detroit to spread her wings, Niecie moved to neighboring Chicago, 

then headed west to Las Vegas where she performed at some of the top hotels,

while also having the opportunity to perform in Los Angeles.

 

From there she headed to Boston, gigging up and down the I-95 trail from New York to Florida,

along with several European tours.

​

This early success inspired Niecie to focus more on her songwriting, which necessitated a trip to Nashville,

where she wasted little time and went straight into the studio where

she recorded/co-produced her debut CD, "Peace Of My Mind". 

​

Her sophomore album "Beyond The Surface", continued to create a stir, reaching both the Cashbox & Billboard charts.

It was during this session that she met  Johnny Neel, Grammy Life-Time Achievement Award Winner

& former member of The Allman Brothers, who contributed keys to the album and a relationship was formed

​

Neel agreed to produce Niecie's next album, "Wanted Woman" and it also had success

on major charts around the globe, including Billboard. And more importantly in bookings

for venues and festivals across the United States. 

 

They teamed up again for  "Trouble With A Capital T" , the latest Niecie release.  Her history of success continued as the album received significant airplay and positive reviews, leading to even more stage appearance.
